Yes Together "BLOG" … We can INCREASE VISITORS TO YOUR REGION

During my 8 years working as an affiliate of the UN’s World tourism Organisation I wrote, edited, published and circulated the Technical, Rural Tourism Development, Journal “Future Tourist” to the Ministries of Rural Development, Tourism and Finance  in 200 developing nation Governments. One major story I wrote and included was about developing Australia’s Tourism Industry :

” If ever there was a great place to develop a chain of exciting culture, sport, animal, history, industry exhibiting, budget accommodation, tourist villages, to attract the local population to holiday first through their own country it has to be Australia”

At that time it cost me personally $30,000 to publish, print and circulate globally each Annual Issue. One in 1979 and one in 1981 . In todays dollar terms that would be around $100,000 for each issue . That was my personal commitment and investment, at that time, to share globally useful rural tourism development, findings and understandings. And there was good result. A number of Governments had me advise them on their best kick off rural tourism development plans. These Governments included Malawi, Zambia, Sierre Leone, Nepal, Pakistan, India, PNG, and Fiji. I was also invited as a keynote or Main Speaker to 5 of the world’s most important tourism development forums. They included the IHA in India, World Ecotourism and Adventure Travel in Canada, World Indigenous ECO-Development in Canada, Pacific Islands Renewable Energy in Hawaii, Responsible Travel in Hawaii.
